2023 UCPath Improvement Projects
2023 UCPath Projects
The system-wide UCPath team strives to constantly improve and advance UCPath functionality on a regular basis. As UC Santa Barbara's campus support team, we are here to guide you through any planned system updates, whether large or small.
Check back often to learn the latest and to find out how any updates may impact your daily work.
Salary Cost Transfer
Impacted Module: General Ledger
Expected Release Date: July 2023
The Salary Cost Transfer project will simplify SCT processing and streamline data entry by building an SCT solution that acts like a GL journal entry process.
The project will also complete SCTs based on complete labor ledger data, eliminate the need to recalculate GL summary and detail labor ledger transactions, and allow users to transfer costs based on complete detailed labor ledger transactions.
Improve Final Pay
Impacted Module: Payroll/Absence Management
Expected Release Date: April 2023
The Final Pay project will enable the UCPath production team to receive complete final pay data from the locations and leverage the system data to process final pay accurately and in a timely manner.
The added functionality will also provide an off-boarding activity guide. Currently, manual entry and interpretation of data for final pay processing and dependence on third-party systems for time and attendance impact the accuracy and timeliness of final paychecks.
Improve Time Collection
Impacted Module: Payroll/Absence Management
Expected Release Date: April 2023
Improve Time Collection is part of a larger effort to utilize the Time & Labor module within UCPath to improve time collection by centrally collecting, managing, validating, and correcting time.
At this time, the project efforts are concentrated on UCPath testing time files with locations to validate new file-loading procedures.
Lived Name
Impacted Module: All Modules
Expected Release Date: June 2023
The Lived Name project will enhance the user experience in UCPath by providing employees the option to select a personal name, known as their lived name. The project's goal is to display lived name on all UCPath pages where a legal name is not required.
Upgrade
Impacted Module: All Modules
Expected Release Date: June 2023
UCPath Upgrade is required to keep the system on a supported platform with the most current patches, and newly released functionality, and ensures a compliant and secure platform.
Continuous Quality Improvement
We are always striving to improve the UCPath experience here at UCSB. To do this, the UCPath Organizational Team conducts a bi-annual Stakeholder Satisfaction Survey twice each year. These surveys will be circulated through mass email.
